psu still prob

Original message.

I am having prob with psu.
It is over heating when i switch of pc. the power on the pc is compleatly down. It is an atx psu. I have tried all kinds of power outlets still same prob.
It is ok when the pc is on it will not heat and comp works fine. i have an ASUS CUS L2 mobo and a p3 866 cpu. never had a prob before. just all of a sudden bang one psu died. now this is over heating. can u help


I have changed the psu and now am using a new make. But still the same poblem. can it be the mother board.

Is the fan on the PSU still running after you shut down? If not then theres the key to the heat problem. Either way, you need to replace it altogether since it should be shutting down anyway.

I find it unlikely that the MOBO would have anything to do with the PSU problem your having. does the problem continue if you unplug the unit for a time and then plug it in again?
